Serena Maria Dicks

Lives and works in London

Serena Maria Dicks is a British Cypriot ceramic artist based in London. Her practice centers on tracing her Cypriot heritage through material expression and decorative processes. influenced by artefacts of antiquity, her works coalesce the gestural and the geometric through the interplay of surface and form.
In her gestural manipulation of clay, she disrupts traditional methodologies inherent to Cypriot ceramic craft. Her sculptural forms acts as a canvas for expressive action ‘painting’ and traced movements. Through these qualities, Serena’s works offer a resonance of place and memory, whilst tracing the legacy of Cypriot folk craft culture.
